HAMPTON FALLS — A person was injured during the commission of a strong-arm robbery Thursday night at the Poker Room on Lafayette Road, police said.

Detective Peter Fowler said the Hampton Falls Police Department was still actively investigating the incident as of 11:30 p.m. He had few details available, but noted the entire department was working on the case.

A county-wide "be on the lookout" alert went out at about 8 p.m. alerting officers to a red, two-door Toyota pickup truck that fled north on Lafayette Road after the robbery at 7:08 p.m. The dispatcher who issued the alert said a white man showed a gun during the incident.

The suspect was also described as between the ages of 27 and 32, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 190 pounds, with black hair and wearing a dark jacket and jeans.

Fowler said officers were checking on a patient who was transported to a hospital in the area after the robbery.
